109~From The U.S. Army Into The Ministry
Tue, May 18, 2021 | Chris and Heather Reif
Today we meet & converse with Chris and Heather Reif of Calvary Frontlines in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.
Chris has been the pastor of Calvary Frontlines since October of 2017. Today, we’re going to hear a bit of their story—an unusual story about how they both served in the U.S. Army ... Chris as a Green Beret ... how they met and married, and how they became strong in the Lord, and called into ministry as a couple, with Chris as a senior pastor.
In this episode:
~ how their military background helped prepare them to serve the Lord
~ the importance of discipleship and training—within the church—in becoming prepared for pastoral ministry
~ comparisons between Special Forces commitment and the pastorate
~ the reality of Post Traumatic Stress and how the gospel, the Word, and the Holy Spirit provide healing
~ the testimony of what God has been doing in Ft. Smith, Arkansas!
Blessings to all who listen!
